Description
A highly detailed 1/12 scale model kit of a 5.56 mm machine gun from Tomytec's Little Armory series! These products are perfect to arm a 1/12 scale model or figure!
In addition to Japan's unique heat shield shape, parts that differ from the US military M249, such as the pipe stock and trumpet-type hider seen on the early Minimi, have been reproduced in detail. The feed cover and bipod can be opened or closed. Comes with a resin box magazine that holds 200 rounds of 5.56mm belt-link bullets. This firearm, adopted by the Self-Defense Forces under the name "5.56mm machine gun Minimi," is a model produced under license in Japan of the Belgian-made FN-MINIMI. It is a firearm that can fire the same ammunition as the main rifle Type 89 rifle, and is widely used in addition to the portable machine gun of regular troops, vehicle-mounted vehicles such as light armored mobile vehicles, and the door gun of the UH-1.
With an emphasis on reproducing the details, the parts are recreated with the real firearm in mind, and it is possible to build multiple configurations, including without optics or during field stripping.
The model comes packed on runners and molded in black and olive drab, but you can also make it look more realistic by painting to your preference.
Plastic nippers are recommended to cleanly remove accessories from their runners. Glue (sold separately) is required for assembly.
